Review of a Study on Longer and Heavier Vehicles

We contribute to the peer review process of the study "The impact of Megatrucks"

TML participated in the peer review process of a European Parliament study
"The impact ofMegatrucks".

Abstract of the study: "This study provides an analysis of the current
evidence on Longer and Heavier Vehicles (LHVs) and the potential impact of
allowing the use of these 'Megatrucks' throughout the EU - as is the case in
Finland and Sweden which already permit LHVs in normal traffic. It
is based on a
literature review of prominent research in this field, as well as case studies
looking into the experiences of LHVs in the five Member States in which they are
either allowed or tested. In addition to this, it analyses available statistical
data and considers the impact of 'Megatrucks' in relation to EU objectives on
road safety and greenhouse gas emissions."

Along with a written report, TML participatedat the review meeting that took
place on 5 September 2013. (video
